Mods,
I may have missed a thread on this topic, if it exists and you wish, please merge it with the original..
Talking late yesterday with a dock neighbor that grew up and lived their whole life around Pass Christian, we hit on Katrina and I mentioned that we had lost our 28 Bayliner in Bay St. Louis and how we has driven from Watson LA to Bay St Louis MS to check our ship two days after the storm which unfortunatley had sank. He owned a trucking company at the time- provided aggregate to a couple of asphalt plants owned by a large paving company, can't recall the name- so his dump trucks were in huge demand after the storm for debris removal and more importantly to fill in the missing sections of Hwy 90 along the coast to allow travel along the highway for the chaos that was starting to happen. Once the trenches were filled, with sand I believe, limestone was used to cap it for travel. He has a video I want to watch and hopefully share of the destruction of the port in Gulfport. Including seacans wrapped around trees, HUGE rolls of paper scattered everywhere, and the worst- pork bellies scattered and rotting. I have several good shots I'm eager to share of the Bay St. Louis area- but was hoping we might have participants in the Long Beach, Gulfport and Biloxi areas that have photo's taken personally they could share??
